Reviews on OR3 quality X price X performance
“I Absolutely love these lights and the coverage they provide for this 36”x24” footprint at only a cost of $680 retail!! I think they are a great option for the reefer who wants a plug and play LED , no desire to program and affordable without sacrificing light source quality!!
and he continues… These lights have far exceeded every expectation I have placed upon them. They have increased my par on my Acropora dominated Euphyllia tank from 500-800 while supplementing my Orphek Atlantic V4s.” (Read in full: The secret of coral pop with OR3 by Ryan Cunningham)
From European blog Danireef:
“As we have said for the OR2 Reef Day Plus, the ceiling light is very well built, solid and well assembled. I really like the extruded borders as well as the refinement. There isn’t a programming that assures a simple modality of use, you can also assit it with other bars in other to obtain the power you need. In this contest we have to focus on the measured PAR, given that that’s not possible to do a proper comparison with other ceiling lights. But if you consider the whole energy you have a more realistic picture. So the bars are perfect for breeding corals, but you have to take the bars you need. Do you need twice the PAR? Use two bars. Do you need four times the PAR? Use four, and so on. The cost per watt is incredibly low, the lowest among the one we tested, while before comment the value of PAR per watt we have to test other blue bars. What else to ask to a LED bar?” (read in full: Orphek OR LED Bar highest economic efficiency in the market (euro per watt)!)
IMPORTANT: Although he is mentioning OR2, please understand that we have upgraded this product to OR3 version and read below what has changed.

OR2 150/120/90/60 Reef LED Lighting X T5
Orphek has been offering panel style LED lighting solutions for the last 10 years, providing a highly diffused light source and delivering the perfect intensity and spectrum to the reef aquarium in the form of the Atlantik series.
Now combined with our OR3 you can get the ultimate spectrum as if you were using T5s!
The idea was to develop an affordable LED, offering a T5 – like coverage length of the tank, but has all the efficiency, spectrum choice and power associated with LED technology with the following benefits:
- OR3 bar LEDs typically use 50% less power consumption than T5.
- Unlike T5 bulbs, which need to be replaced very 6-12 months, LEDs require no maintenance.
- There is no new acclimation period required for corals – there is with T5 replacement for new bulbs.
- OR3 bar LEDs have an output of around 2 x that of a comparable T5 bulb – meaning less units are required to fully illuminate the aquarium.
- OR3 heat sink is around 41C and the heat is dispersed upwards rather than heating the aquarium water.
- Each OR3 bar has multiple LED color chips providing a balanced spectrum for each bar.
- OR3 LEDs penetrate the water column giving better performance at depth, providing a shimmer effect to give the aquarium a sharper, colorful visual appearance.
- OR3 bar LEDs come as standard in 2 spectrum choices with customized options available for special order.
- Just 2 x OR3 bars, a combination of 1 x Reef Day Plus and 1 x Blue Plus will deliver PAR of ~400 at the surface and ~250 + mid aquarium mounted 20cm above the water level.
